On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name …
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
I have enjoyed going to the desert for a vacation, there is something compelling about the dryness and open spaces, the cacti and ocotilo. I felt compelled by the words to look the song up on You Tube, I hadn’t heard it for a while, what a nostalga trip! I’m glad you finished off with some water.
Fantastic….love those lyrics, brought back memories…
